THE MODERN VERSION 


“No beer, no bonds,” was advocated 
by some of the imbibers recently, but 
the vendor of a Crows Nest Pass gov- 
ernment liquor store had the following 
sign posted on the premises: “No beer,

GULLS ARE THE “SABATEURS” 


SALEM, Mass.—It took officials of 
a Salem war plant three weeks to find 
out who was “sabotaging” their elec- 
tric eye signal system, but they finally 
discovered the culprits were sea gulls, 
The gulls have been coming inland to 
try to snare remnants of the lunches 
of plant workers, Each time the birds 
flew past the electric eye beams they 
set off the alarms, 


EXTRA SUGAR FOR BEES 


Extra sugar will be allowed bee 
keepers to feed their bees, but they 
must apply direct to the Provincial 
Apiarist giving name and address and 
the number of colonies to feed; also 
how long the bees must be fed, and 
the least amount of sugar it will take, 

The bee keeper will be sent a spe- 
cial purchase permit and grocers may 
then sell him as much sugar as is 
Shown on the permit, 


ESKIMOS ARE BEHIND LOAN 


WINNIPEG—Eskimos of Reid Isl- 
and in the Arctic, beyond the northern 
mainland of Canada, are showing their 
patriotism by buying Victory Bonds. 

Thirteen Eskimo hunters and trap- 
pers on the island placed their order 
for bonds with William Joss, manager 
of the Hudson’s Bay Company post 
there, Joss and three other white men 
at the post also bought $1,400 worth | 
of bonds,

LOSES CHANCE TO WIN $266 


Mrs, E.A_ Poxon of Carbon failed 
to answer the question when her name 
was picked on the Wrigley Treasure 
Trail program Tuesday night from

consolation prize of $5 instead of the

FOR VICTORY BONDS 


Only Three Days Left 
In Which To Buy Bonds 


The Carbon Unit of the Fourth Vic- 
tory Loan has been showing more ac- 
tive results during the past week and 
according to Unit Organizer S.F, Tor- 
rance the sum of $34,150 has been sub- 
seribed to date, leaving $3,850 more 
to raise if we dre to reach our quota 
of $38,000, sét by provincial headquart. 
ers, " q 

The people of this disttict have re- 
sponded very well to the ptrchase of 
bonds and there are others who can 
buy a bond, but who have not made an 
application. To these few we urge 
that they go to the local branch of 
the Bank of Montreal, to a member 
of the canvassing committee, or direct 
to the unit organizer and purchase a 
bond immediately, even if it is only for 
$50, and they have to buy it on the 
instalment plan, with six months to 
pay for it at no interest. 

This loan is of national importance 
and it should not be left to a few to 
take up the issue, but everyone should 
buy at least one botid. 

If you have a savings accoun', put 
every dollar of it into Victor: Ponds. 
The investment is better as far as int- 
erest is concerned, and the security is 
as good, What more could one ask for? 

There are only three days left in 
which to buy bonds in the Fourth Vic 
tory loan, and the books close Satur- 
day night, 

The Carbon Unit stil] needs a few 
thousand dollars to complete its quota. 
Do your part to help put the loan over 
as a success here, Buy a Bond now!

WHEAT POOL CROP 


REPORT SHOWS THAT 
SEEDING IS LATER 


About One-Third of Alta. 
Acreage Sown to Wheat 


At May 1st approximately 10 per 
cent of the wheat and 3 per cent of 
the coarse grains have been sown in 
the province of Alberta, according to 
a recent survey by the Alberta Wheat 
Pool, This percentage is largely ac- 
counted for by the progress which has 
been made in the south east and in 
the Peace River district, 

About one-third of the wheat and 
coarse grain acreage has been seeded 
in south-eastern Alberta, Some pro- 
gress has been made in the remainder 
of the south but unfavorable weather 
with rain, snow and high winds has 
hampered operations. Only a small 
percentage has been completed in the 
Central Alberta section, where har- 
vesting of the remaining 1942 crop 
has been given preference, Seeding is 
just getting started in northern dist- 
ricts with the exception of the Peace 
River area where 28 per cent of the 
wheat has now been sown, 

The weather generally has been very 
cool and windy with heavy frost at 
night, 

The progress of seeding made to 
date is far behind last year when 35 
per cent of the wheat and 9 per cent 
of the coarse grains had been seeded 
at this time. 

Moisture conditions are generally 
satisfactory, surface moisture is ade- 
quate to insure germination in all 
areas. Sub-soil moisture is good and 
averages better than last year at the 
same period except for the Peace Riv- 
er area which has a deficiency, The 
land is drying up very rapidly in that 
area, 

A considerable reduction in wheat 
and rye acreage is anticipated but 
acreage in oats and barley may be 
increased by about 15 per cent. A

CARBON SCHOOL DISTRICT 
BUYS $1,000 IN BONDS 


The regular meeting of the Carbon 
School District was held last Wednes- 
day and mostly routine business was 
transacted, 

Owing to possible coal shortage the 
trustees decided to construct a coal 
bin at the school, with a capacity of 
approximately 50 tons, and this will be 
filled with coal before the winter sets 
in, 

The school board decided to invest 
$1,000 in bonds in the Fourth Victory 
Loan, This brings the district’s bond 
investments to $1,500, the board hav- 
ing purchased $500 in bonds in the 
previous loan,

Very little seeding has been done 
the past week, The weather has been 
cold and damp, and showery, Monday 
night the frost was so heavy that the 
ground was frozen in places so that it 
could not be sown with a seed drill,

General Montgomery Wants To Meet 
Rommel As A Prisoner 

Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery 
hopes to meet Nazi Field Marshal 
Erwin Rommel—‘“as a prisoner’’—and 
probably will follow up his capture 
by being in the forefront of any Euro- 
pean invasion, Lady Montgomery, the

Lady Montgomery was interviewed | 
at her home, an old fashioned Georg: |

his four brothers, adorn the walls.

When Vegetables Are Really Fresh 


There is no substitute for the real- 
ly fresh quality of vegetables grown 
at the door and picked when they 
reach just the right stage of ma- 
turity. Such have a flavor all their 
own. But there are plenty of people 
with big gardens that do not enjoy 
as much of this freshness as they 
should. With them there are a few 
meals of green peas, baby carrots 
and beets, new potatoes and corn, 
and that is all. Hither the rows 
are finished or else there is nothing 
left but peas, beans and corn which 
should have been eaten days or weeks 
before. 

With a little planning, however, 
these people could have had really 
fresh vegetables coming on all 
through the summer. There are two 
ways to achieve this. First, the ac- 
tual planting season can be spread 
over several weeks. In most parts 


Mountain] 5¢ Canada it is still not too late to 


sow more beans, carrots, corn, beets 
and many other vegetables. Experts 
advise making at least three sowings 
of practically all vegetables. A second 
way to extend the season is to use 
more different types. In practically 
every line it is now possible to get 
an early, medium and late maturing 
sort. By sowing all three, one auto- 
matically extends the harvesting sea- 
son. 


Cultivation 


Killing weeds is only one of the 
functions of garden cultivation. Of 
equal importance is the stirring up 
of the soil to prevent sourness, bak- 
ing, and to check evaporation of 
valuable moisture. In the dryer sec- 
-|tions of Canada the latter point is 
-|vital. By breaking up the surface we 
produce a mulch which checks the 
capilliary action or upward move- 
ment of moisture to the top of the 


Last year's forest fire damage and |soil surface where it might be evapor- 
costs of fighting fires were estimated |ated by the sun. 


at $3,550,181 against an average of 
$5,378,122 for the past 10 years. The! 
area burned over was 1,838,471 acres 
against a 10-year average of 2,428,- 
659. | 

“The number of fires was less 


cade in all provinces,” said the de-| 
partment. 

“However, in spite of the reduced 
number of fires, British Columbia, 
Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia re- 
ported the area burned and the cost 
plus damage to be very considerable 
above normal. This may be ex- 
plained as the result of a reduction 
in skilled staff and a shortage of 
manpower for fire-fighting due to 
the war effort.” 


Car Batteries 


Storage Batteries Have Long Life 
When Given Care 

Many automobile owners are prone) 
to neglect their car batteries. For) 
this reason the question of “care” 
should always receive consideration. 
Consumer Information Service says 
that if reasonable care is given a} 
storage battery, its life will be in| 
proportion to its use. On the other) 
hand, neglect invariably shortens | 
battery life, and frequently is the) 
cause of premature failures. 

Under the limited driving condi- | 
tions of today, all car owners should | 
have their car batteries thoroughly | 
checked every two weeks. The ser- | 
| vice station attendant should take a) 
definite reading of the specific gravity | 
and record it. Any indication of 
gradual discharge should immediately | 
suggest to the car owner that the) 
|battery be removed for a thorough 
recharge. A check should be made of 
the electrical system of the car to de-| 
termine whether the charging rate is 
sufficient to maintain a constant state 
of full charge under the driving con-| 
dition or habits of the individual 
owner.

Benefit Scale 
For Ex-Soldiers 
Has Been Raised 


Toronto.—Substantial increase in 
the scale of post-discharge benefits 
to members of the armed forces pend- 
ing re-establishment and improve- 
ments in the provisions for treat- 
ment of men suffering from disabili- 
ties were announced by Pensions 
Minister Mackenzie speaking before 
the Toronto Business Men’s branch 
of the Canadian Legion. 

The scale of benefits has been 
raised from $9 a week for a single 
man and $13 for a married man to 
$10.20 a week for a single man and 
$14.40 for a married man. In addi- 
tion allowances for children on the 
same scale as the dependents’ allow- 
ances paid during service are author- 
ized, together with an allowance for 
a dependent parent. 

The minister announced _ three 
orders-in-council affecting men dis- 
charged from the forces were passed. 
They were: 

1. An amendment to the post- 
discharge order 
and making some other changes. 

2. Amendments to treatment reg- 
ulations to provide complete treat- 
men of non-pensionable disabilities 
and higher cash allowances plus 
allowances for dependents of men 
undergoing treatment after dis- 
charge. 

8. An amendment to the War 
Veterans’ Allowance Act to do away 


with deductions from allowances be- |

Mr. Mackenzie also announced a 


Rescue Craft 


plan for creating special recondition- 
ing centres for problem cases, men} 
who believe they are suffering from | 
some physical defect but who are not 
pensionable and still not able to earn 
a living. | 

Under the revised post-discharge | 
order a single man may receive $44.20 | 
a month while he is engaged in voca- | 
tional training, completing his edu-| 
cation or setting himself up in some | 
private enterprise where earnings 
are slow in materializing, such as} 
farming or a small business. The 
benefits available to married men) 
start with $62.40 a month for a man} 
without children and range up to} 
$120.40 a month for a man with a| 
wife’ and six children. | 

Men with dependent parents may 
receive $15 a month in addition to| 
the allowances payable on account of | 
their own status. 

Formerly post-discharge 


allow- | 
ances were cut down to the extent 
of the pensions received by a disabled 
man, 

“We shall not hereafter deduct | 
from any vocational training grant 
awarded to a disability pensioner, the | 
full amount of his pension,” said Mr. | 
Mackenzie. | 

“In the case of an unmarried pen- 
sioner whose disability is assessed 
at less than 15 per cent., his pension 
will be completely ignored in award- 
ing vocational training benefit. That | 
is, he will receive his pension and the 
full allowance. 

“In the case of a single man whose 
disability pension ranges from 15 
per cent. to 55 per cent. we shall pay 
the amount of the vocational allow- 
ance necessary to bring his income 
up to $55 a month instead of $44.20. 

“In the case of a married man in 


Ottawa. — The R.C.A.F. has an- 
nounced that it has ordered six 
helicopters—the “flying windmills’ 


fron 
air. 

The Royal Canadian Air Force has 
purchased them from the United 
States and may use them in its un- 
ceasing campaign against U-boats off 
Canada’s east coast, because of the 
special adaptability of these aircraft 


t lawn, and remain still in mid- 


\for this type of duty. 


However, the helicopter’s immedi- 
ate job will be to rescue airmen 
forced down in otherwise inaccessible 
places, and to serve outposts now de- 
pendent on uncertain sea communica- 
ions. 

If it spots a submarine a helicopter 
can stop right there and drop its 
depth charges, whereas the modern 
bombing aircraft usually has to take 
many minutes and miles to do a run- 
up on a submarine which by that time 
often disappears. 

It is said that if the visibility of 
the water is sufficient the helicopter 
can hover over a submarine like a 
shadow until forces are brought up 
to destroy it. In convoy protection 
its slow speed permits it to hover 
over the convoy and be a constant 
guardian angel against submarines. 

The helicopter’s speeds range from 
80 miles per hour down to zero miles 
per hour, and it can stop dead in mid- 
air, and descend or ascend vertically 
at will, as well as fly backwards. 

For this reason, ferry pilots are 
enthusiastic about its possibilities, in

up to $75 per month before taking |

the normal rate of benefit under the 
post-discharge order would be a maxi- 


mum of $62.40.” 


Where there are children a mar-| 


ried pensioner’s $75 will be aug- 

mented by children’s allowances. 
Where a pension is for more than 

a 55 per cent. disability the man will 


receive his normal rate of pension | 


plus a post-discharge grant to the 
extent of 25 per cent. of his pension. 
(Children’s allowances in all cases 
are $12 a month for two children, 
$10 for a third and $8 for a fourth, 
fifth and sixth.)

Thirty-six survivors of a merchant

Hon. J. A, MacKinnon, minister of 
trade and commerce, said here.

MacKinnon said 1942 exports 
left all previous records far behind 
and this new high level of export

Mr. MacKinnon said Canada now

Referring to Britain's Beveridge

On the other hand, he continued, 
jhe found in the same countries that

He said that a great fleet of steel

Canada in postwar trading and how

Australian Soldiers Taught 
In School Of Jungle Warfare 
How To Fight The Japanese 


(From the Australian Section 


of the Empire Press Union) 


i i VICIOUS country, as like the Papuan terrain as you can get in Aus- 
tralia, hundreds of Australian soldiers are now preparing to get at grips 
with the Japs in a school of jungle warfare, writes W. Caldbeck Moore, one 


of the Sydney Daily Telegraph's war correspondents. 


Experienced instruc- 


tors are teaching them to live like the cavemen. 


Already the keener troops are eat: 
ing grilled python steaks and broiled 
goanna, and quenching their thirsts 
from water vines. And the Doubting 
Thomases, who still cling to the idea 
that camp tucker is safer, are gin- 
gerly coming round to the point 
where they nibble a bit of snake 
steak after dinner. Training goes on 
from dawn to dark, and is spread over 
several weeks. This is a school where 
everything is intentionally austere. 

Set on the fringe of thickly tim- 
bered country, where broad-girthed 
trees rear up to 150 feet, and the 
undergrowth has to be hacked 
through for a pathway, the camp is 
2,000 feet above sea level. Tents 
have been pitched in the heart of a 
“rain forest”, which means that the 
weather is more often wet than dry. 

The jungle is greasy and muddy, 
and infested with reptiles, ticks, 
leeches and mosquitoes. Troops curse 
the mosquitoes, get their cobbers to 
extract the ticks, and force the 
leeches to release their grip with a} 
burning cigarette. To protect them- 
selves from the pests, the troops wear 
slacks and gaiters instead of shorts, 
and socks. 

In three to four weeks the trainees 
are expected to become efficient 
jungle fighters, which means ability} 
to hack a way silently through the 
clinging, sloppy undergrowth with 
razor-sharp knives, without loss of 
the “infiltrating line’. To do this 
night and day without the aid of 
compass or maps, and to get to a 
given spot purely by jungle sense; 
“freezing” motionless for an hour or 
more, and taking up the shape of 
things about them as disguise; climb- 
ing “skyscraper” trees and taking 
cover under foliage for sniping; eat- 
ing, sleeping and living like the bird 
and animal life about them. 

They must become efficient at 
swimming rivers with their kit lashed 
in ground sheets, and learn to go for 
days without rest. And they must 
prove their stamina by encompassing, 
fully kitted, the 1,000 yards blitz 
course, with its straight up and down 
400-foot hills, raging streams, and 
Nature-made obstacles of fallen giant 
trees and moss-covered boulders. All 
in 20 minutes! 


The military side of the training 
has been entrusted to officers and 
N.C.O.’s who have fought the Japs 
in Malaya and New Guinea, and 
others who have been jungle-trained 
in Ceylon, 

And the man who is winning the 
troops over to the Stone Age mode 
of living is the well-known Australian 
naturalist, Mel Ward, who lectures 


}on the values of bush tucker (and 


how to find it) in an emergency, 

“Famous Australian explorers 
would never have perished in the out- 
back had they known there was water 
all about them”, Ward has told the 
men, and says there is no need to 
go hungry in the bush. 

He offers a dozen or more recipes 
for jungle dishes in which snakes, 
lizards, goannas, eels, fish, kauris, 
coconuts, coconut palms, tapioca, 
taro, wild pumpkin, and pawpaw can 
be used, and passes these on to troops 
at his nightly lectures, when, with 
the aid of lantern slides, he teaches 
them how to identify the edible plants 
of the jungle. 


He is well fitted for the job, be- 
cause he has spent years in the 
jungle islands of the north and along 
He shows 
slide pictures of the native gardens 
in New Guinea, and edible fauna and 
flora of all kinds, so that the troops 
will be au fait with their surround- 
ings. 

We had to be up early for the 
jungle patrol exercises. Tin-helmeted 
troops carrying tommy-guns, _ .303 
rifles with fixed bayonets, and light 
packs and oilskins, filed into the un- 
dergrowth. Some moved through 
chosen paths, others just pressed in 
against the mass of long grass, vines 
and ferns noiselessly. A few wore 
green uniforms, but most were khaki- 
clad, War correspondents followed, 
slipping on the slimy leaves and fall- 
ing over mossy logs. 


Then the sergeant-instructor blew 
@ sharp blast on his whistle. The 
troops “froze’’ in their positions, They 
simply disappeared in the jungle. 

The sergeant-instructor stood with 
a watch in his hand, saying: ‘“Re- 
member, men, one blink of an eyelid 
and a Jap may pick you out. Stand 


'to Rev. Pierre Poullet, 


‘substantiate this belief. 


still, deadly still, and look as inhuman 
as possible.” 

And troops lying in ambush be- 
neath thorny vines and in thick 
grass, besides mossy, rotting tree 
trunks, or 40 feet up a hardwood tree, 
obeyed the orders to a man. All the 
time ticks were embedding them- 
selves in the necks and arms of some 
of them. And the leeches were gour- 
mandizing and the mosquitoes mak- 
ing merry. The men cursed silently, 
but never stirred. Then a foolish 
“enemy” sniper fiddled with the bolt 
of his rifle, and the “frozen” troops 
miraculously “thawed’’. They wiped 
out the “enemy” in ambush. 

For hours this went on.

of which the Turner Valley refinery is 
able to supply through utilization of 
the new polymerization plant. 

The catalytic polymerization process 
was first put into practical use in the 
United States only a few years ago, 
and the first plant in the Dominion 
was completed at Turner Valley in 
August, 1942, 

“Our Turney Valley Refinery con- 
sists of two units, the topping process, 
which refines crude oil, and the crack- 
ing procedure used to refine the resi- 
due from the topping unit,’ an official 
of Gas and Oil Products Limited said 
in explaining the new process, 

Under the new process, the vapor 
gases from the cracking unit are com- 
pressed and then scrubbed with a so- 
lution that removes sulphur com- 
pounds found in the natural gasoline. 
These sulphur-free vapor gases are 
further compressed and heated to the 
desired reaction temperature at which 
time they are passed through a bed 
of material known 4s a “catalyst” 
which converts them int» a high grade 
gasoline, This polymerized gasoline is 


then separated from the residual gas 
and blended with regular refinery mo. 
tor fuel, 

“The polymerized gasoline has an 
octane blending value of 90, which 
means that when it is blended with 
the refinery gasoline, the tota! blend 
is a higher quality product than it 
was formerly possible to produce, It 
is therefore now possible to produce 
a higher actane Ethyl gasoline, using 
less tetra-ethyl lead fluid than former- 
ly, not only saving the lead fluid for 
aviation gasoline, for which it is urg- 
ently needed, but also producing a 
better quality motor fuel at the same 
time,” he stated.

THE STORY BEHIND 
MEAT RATIONING 


Food is a weapon of war, and we must share our supplies with those who 
are fighting to keep the war from our shores. After all special wartime 
demands are taken care of, only one half of the meat produced in 
Canada will be available for ordinary domestic consumption at home. 


Meat supplies for our Armed Forces must be 


maintained at all costs. 


wf = 


Canned meat is required in large quantities 


by the Red Cross to send to our boys who 
are prisoners of war. 


Great Britain has to depend more and more 
on Canada for supplies to maintain even its 
present low ration rate of 28 cents worth of 


meat per person, per week. 


gli on 


Places like Newfoundland and the West Indies, 


Since the war started the consumption of 
meat by civilians has increased in Canada. 
Great defense projects such as the Alcan 
Highway and the Shipshaw Power Develop- 
ment have created new and large demands 
for meat in areas where practically no demand 


existed before. 


which previously secured their meat from 
other sources—must now depend to a great 
extent on Canada, 


The many extra ships of the United Nations 
now calling at Canadian ports, must be 


furnished with meat. 


RATIONING IS INTELLIGENT FORESIGHT — INTELLIGENT PLANNING 


Coupon rationing is the only way of ensuring equal sharing of the meat available 
for civilian consumption in Canada. Those with lots of money will not get more 
than their share—and those with less money will be assured of getting 


their fair share. 


Rationing will help prevent local meat shortages such as occurred last year from 
becoming widespread and continuous throughout the whole Dominion. The 
incentive for panic-buying which empties butcher shops early in the day, 


will be eliminated.

—_ ~~ 


THE MEAT RATION WILL BE AMPLE FOR HEALTH AND NUTRITION 


Fortunately, our meat production in Canada has increased. So, although only 
kalf our production will be available for civilian use, it wil mean a reduction 
of only about 15% to 20% in the average household consumption, 


The proposed ration of 2 lbs. (carcass weight) per person, per week, has been 
approved by the country’s leading food and nutrition authorities, as ample for 
the health and nutrition standards of everyone—regardless of age or occupation.

WHAT IS A VICTORY BOND? 


A VICTORY BOND is the promise of the Dominion of Canada to 
repay in cash the full face value of the Bond at the time stipulated, 
with half-yearly interest at the rate of 3% per annum until maturity. 

A Victory Bond is the safest investment in Canada. The entire 
resources of the Dominion stand behind it. Canada has been issuing 
bonds for 75 years, and has never failed to pay every. dollar of principal 


and interest. 


A Victory Bond is an asset more readily converted into cash than 


any other security.

attention of farmers to an excellent 
deseription of control methods, 
Special Pamphlet No, 59, and placed

Let us remember two facts. 
| Firstly, the sawfly is still a threat 
| and, secondly, it can be controlled. 
| ‘The results of research and experi- 
| mentation are, year by year, leading 
to more effective control methods. 
Last year, Dr, K. M, King and 
Dr, C, W. Farstad, through the 
co-operation of farmers, conducted 
series of 18 sawfly trap demonstra- 
tions, The results are full of mean- 
ing to all wheat farmers in sawfly 
areas, We quote from the report: 

“In every district except one, 
well-planned sawfly traps gave very 
worthwhile control in 1942... They 
how clearly that good sawfly traps 
can be highly effective in Saskat- 
chewan, 

“In the trapped fields, as an 
average, less than 2 rods at the 
margin were sufficiently infested ,.. 
to result in severe losses of heads 
due to fallen stems. Comparable 
untrapped wheat was severely in- 
fested to more than 11 rods from 
the margin, on the average of the 
districts represented in this study. 

“It is estimated that, on the 
average, at least ten times as many 
heads of wheat were lost in the 
untrapped fields than in the com- 
parable trapped ones.”

Wild Bird Life Said To Be Flying In 
Formation To Imitate Planes 

Even the wild-life in the Aleutians 
had been militarized, according to 
Capt. Aaron Blewitt, of Cul De Sac, 
Idaho, company commander of @ unit 
camped in a wild valley on the 
slopes of an Aleutian volcano, 

“Since our arrival here,” Captain 
Blew'tt said, “the blue foxes have 
learned to stand in the chow line and 
the ravens are beginning to fly in 
military formations.” 

The men in Captain Blewitt’s com- 
pany support his assertions that the 
fat, playful, highly intelliegnt ravens 
imitate the manoeuvres of fighter 
planes based in the Aleutians. They 
maintain that the birds nct only fly 


in echelons and peel off in attack 
dives, but they also occasionally 
poke fun at the air corps by making 
extremely bumpy and _ unbirdlike 
landings. 

“But the best stunt 


pulled off here,’ Captain Blewitt said, 
“was when they gave our terrier 
mascot a shellacking. They circled 
over him in an echelon of echelons 
and came down one at a time, claw- 
ing the pup and whacking him so 
hard with their beaks that half the 
company had to knock off work to 
rescue him.’’

In Britain many women's organ-

states that “to them that are afar 
off’’ meant the Gentiles, but Peter at 
this time had not had his vision of 
clean and unclean and it seems more 
natural to refer the phrase to the 
Jews that were scattered at a dis-

and there were added unto them in 
that day about three thousand souls. 

Peter Heals a Lame Man at the 


| Door of the Temple, Acts 3:1-8, Nine 
{in the morning and three in the after- 


noon were the hours for sacrifice and 
prayer in the temple; it was the ninth 
hour, three o’clock in the afternoon, 
when Peter and John went one day to 
the temple to pray. At the door of 
the temple called Beautiful they saw 
a man sitting and begging alms of 
all worshippers. The man had been 
lame from birth, and as he was daily 
carried to that spot to beg, he must 


have been well known to all in Jeru- 
salem. “He was part of the city 
landscape, the people knew him as 
they knew the carved columns of the 
temple doorway.”’ 

The man was not expecting alms 
from every worshipper, and probably 
glanced indifferently at Peter and 
John. To rivet his attention upon 
them and arouse his expectations, 
Peter said to him, “Look on us.” 
Then the beggar gave heed to them, 
doubtless expecting to receive a few 
coins. But Peter said to him, “Silver 
and gold have I none; but what I 
have, that give I thee. In the name 
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 

Immediately the man’s feet and 
ankle-bones received strength; he 
leaped up and began to walk, and 
entered the temple with the apostles, 
all the time leaping and praising God.

Wartime Meals 


How To Overcome Shortages 
Rationing Of Food 

Adequate wartime meals can be 
prepared in spite of shortages and 
rationing of food. 

The dietetic study points out that 
with a plentiful supply of cereal foods 
and a fair supply of milk, potatoes 
and vegetables, the average family 
can maintain a vigorous diet, even if 
| further cuts in rationed foods become 
necessary. 

Here are some ways nutrition ex- 
|perts suggest to vary wartime 
| menus: 

Use muffins, johnny-cake and other 
quick breads in place of standard 
dark and enriched white breads. 

For breakfast, alternate cooked 
cereals with ready-cooked package 
cereals. 

Serve a tray of attractive sand- 
wiches for lunch or dinner. 

“Stretch” meat and fish croquettes, 
meat loaves, hash and stews with 
| bread crumbs, oatmeal, soy flour. 

Dress up toast with ginger, nut- 
meg, cinnamon or honey and syrup. 

Fill out your meals with bread 
| puddings, rice puddings and cereal 
“brown betty.” 

Work milk and cottage cheese into 
as many of your dishes as you can. 


And 


PECULIAR PALM TREE

“Grow the fighting foods at home

And you'll help your country, 
too.” 


That jingle may not be the last

health. 


Gardening is patriotic. Govern- 
ment authorities say that supplies of 
certain commercially grown vege- 
tables will be limited this year. Man- 
power and transportation are twin 
headaches. Large quantities of canned 
vegetables are being sent overseas to 
our men in uniform and the people 
of the United Kingdom. All of which 
means that we should grow our own 
vegetables if we want to make sure 
of an adequate supply. By so doing, 
we will release valuable man hours 
for more essential purposes. 
Gardening is fun. Once gardening 
gets into your blood it’s there to 
stay. Not only is it a hobby packed 
full of interest but it contributes to 
your sense of health and well-being.

CHAPTER I 


+ hee dining room was beginning to 
thin out when Chris Morgan, 
dawdling over a leisurely meal, finally 
made up his mind. He had carried 
out the assignment in Buenos Aires; 
the mission had been a shot in the 
dark that had found no mark. The 
only thing left for him to do was to 
return to the United States and re- 
port a complete lack of results to his 
superiors. 

Another man, who also had just 
finished eating, stepped to the desk 
ahead of Morgan, and the American 
waited while the other man paid his} 
bill. De Nova, the manager of the} 
Casa Grande, was serving as cashier, 
and he turned smilingly to Morgan} 
as soon as he was free. 

“I’m. checking out tomorrow,” said 
Morgan. “Have my bill ready and| 
I'll settle up in the morning.” 

Abruptly Morgan turned around. 
While he had been speaking to De 
Nova the other customer had been 
moving toward the exit and as he 
crossed the floor there was about him 
something vaguely familiar that 
caught Morgan’s attention. 

Chris Morgan grinned to hirnself, 
then shrugged. He was quite a de- 
tective! The man was an utter 
stranger. That was what weeks of 
snooping did to a fellow; made him 
suspicious of everything and every- 
one, 

“Yes, I am leaving in the morn-; 
ing.” Morgan faced De Nova once! 
more. And once again he was con-|

the gap between them, since there 
was no reason why the fellow should 
suspect that he was being shadowed. 

In the thickest portion of the 
crowd, Morgan lost sight of the man, 
and when he had wormed through 
the press the fellow had disappeared. 
Morgan’s swift stride became a saun- 
ter as he craned his neck in all direc- 
tions for a sight of his quarry. 

Then, unexpectedly, the square- 
shouldered man was on the sidewalk 
once more, at Morgan's very elbow, 
tearing the top from a package of 
cigarettes. He had merely stepped 
in and out cf a convenient tohacco 
shop. The man, a cigarette in his 
fingers, looked directly at the Ameri- 
can just as Morgan was on the point 
of edging away. 

“You have a match, senor?” he in- 
quired, - 

Morgan nodded and extended his 
cigarette lighter. The square-shoul- 
dered man was blond of hair and 
tanned, and his Spanish was fault- 
less. 

The cigarette lighted, the stranger 
returned the lighter, with a word of 
thanks. Morgan said, in German: 
“Do not mentioned it, mein Herr.” 

The other’s sandy eyebrows went 
up in surprise. “You are German?” 
he remarked politely. “I would hardly 
have thought it.’ He moved to step 
around Morgan, but the American

up at the very moment Morgan was | 
preparing to abandon his quest ? 


LREADY the fellow was gone—out 
into the street. “Excuse me,| 
senor,’? Morgan interrupted De Nova. | 
“T’'ve got to see a man about a dog.” 
Then he turned away from the desk 
and ran toward the street door. It 
would be just his luck for the man 
with the sea swagger to have van- 
ished by the time Morgan got out- 
side. 

He sidestepped a waiter without 
slackening speed. But going through 
the doorway his haste was such that 
he was unable to avoid a collision 
with a man on the point of entering 
the hotel. 

The shoulders of the two men 
struck, but since it was Morgan who 
was moving the faster, the other man 
was bumped aside, to strike in turn 
against the woman who was accom- 
panying him. ‘ 

“I beg your pardon,” said Morgan, 
without pausing. The man he was 
seeking was up ahead, almost at the 
street corner. A curse in Spanish fell 
on Morgan’s ear, and he halted, 
realizing that he had been rude to 
the couple in the doorway; that the 
young woman had been bowled over 
completely. 

The man, helping the girl to arise, 
paused to shake a fist at Morgan. 
With sudden dismay, the American 
realized that the man he had jostled, 
was Colonel Miguel Velasquez y 
Cuyas and that the girl was Senorita 
Rosita, the colonel’s niece. Intent on 
apologizing for his rudeness, he did 
an about-face and had taken one step 
back toward the hotel door when the 
man with the sailor’s walk rounded 
the distant corner and passed out of 
sight. 

The senorita, on her feet now, was 
being escorted into the hotel lobby. 
As though freeing himself from a 
vise, Morgan turned his back on the 
Casa Grande and hurried toward the 
street intersection. His own personal 
desires had to be squelched under the 
sterner demands of duty. 


Aires police. You will come with me 
for a word or two with Capt. Rojas.” 

The man seemed amused. “Very 
well, if you insist, senor. But I warn 
you that if you are inconveniencing 
me without cause it shall go hard 
with you, whoever you may be. I 
have friends in Buenos Aires.” 

“At the German embassy,” Mor- 
gan, more sure of his ground now, 
grunted. “Even that outfit will have 
quite a time explaining the presence 
of a submarine commander in the 
capital of a neutral country.” 


A VOICE spoke at Morgan's elbow. 
His friends are here, senor.’ And 
a body pressed against Morgan to 
touch the hard metal of a gun to 
the American's side. ‘You will un- 
hand Cmdr. Pfahls.” 

Morgan was taken completely by 
surprise, The surprise enabled Pfahls 
to twist out of Morgan’s grasp. At 
the same time a third figure moved 
into Morgan's range of vision and a 
swinging fist crashed like a flung 
rock against Morgan's jaw... . 

When Morgan recovered from that 
knockout punch, he was lying in the 
alley behind the tobacco store. 
Pfahls and his companions were no- 
where to be seen. He got up, thank- 
ful that the Germans had been con- 
tent merely to slug him. His pockets 
were turned inside out, evidence that 
he had been searched, But Morgan 


had been warned from the beginning

Weaving Excellent Hobby 

A useful hobby which can easily 
develop into a profession is that of 
weaving. Especially in wartime you 
will find that weaving your own ma- 
terials is most practical. 

The conventional threads used in 
weaving are wool, cotton, silk and 
linen but many other materials can 
|be used as the weaving processes 
describe in our 32-page booklet. 

Feminine fingers are rediscovering 
weaving as a pleasant and useful 
|pastime. Not so many years ago it 
was a necessary skill in our grand- 
mothers’ homes. Years have passed 
jand women are again weaving, 


mainly because of wartime exigencies 
There's an artist in every woman.

BLOOD & MEAT SPOTS IN EGGS 


The question of Blood and Meat 
Spots in eggs is one that causes a 
great deal of worry and sometimes 
considerable financial loss to many o! 
| our producers, states ©, W. Traver, 
| Poultry Commissione®, A few blood 
or meat spots will be found in the 
|eggs of every flock, but if the quant- 
ity is excessive, say above one per 
cent, then the cause should be deter- 
mined and removed if possible, 
| Meat spots are small, brownish, so- 
lid particles in the white of an egg. 
Such eggs are put in Grade C, but 
meat spots should not be classed as 
| Rots. Blood Spots are particles of 
| blood in the egg anywhere from the 
size of a pin head up. In extreme 
cases the egg is completely clouded 
with clot and blood, All Blood Spots 
are classed as Rots, 

Blood Spots result 
causes: 

1. Forcing the birds for extremely 
high production, 

2, Allowing the flock to lay itself 
out of condition, usually associated 
with forcing, 

3. Too heavy feeding of grain, es- 
pecially wheat, 

4. The birds receiving a bad fright, 
such as a child or a dog running into 
the house, 

5. Roosts, nests, etc., too high off 
the floor and insufficient litter to take 
the jar off the birds lighting on the

Cooking was the young wife’s hob. 
by, and what she lacked in skill she 
made up in zeal, 

Otte day, when a neighbor’s small 
boy rain an ertand for her, she re. 
warded him with a generous helping 
of jam tart which she had made with 
her own fair hands, 


A few minutes later the ne | 


wag back again, 

“Thank you very much for the jam,” 
he said, with shy politeness, “Here’s 
your bit of board back!”

THE CARBON UNIT OF THE 


W FOURTH 


VICTORY LOAN 


MUST RAISE . 
WE NOW HAVE .. 


WE STILL NEED 


There are very few people who cannot buy at 
least a $50 Bond in the Fourth Victory Loan. You 
say you haven’t the money! What good is money— 
or property—or the luxuries you buy—if we lose 
this war? Cut out all unnecessary spending, put 
$10 down on a Bond, and pay the balance in instal- 


ments—if necessary—but buy at least one Bond, 
and buy it now—before the loan closes. Let every- 
one do their bit and not leave it to a few. Let’s put 
the Carbon unit “over the top” and show the rest 
of the Domirtion that we are doing our share to 


help win this war! 


WE ALWAYS SUBSCRIBED OUR PREVIOUS 
QUOTAS---WE CAN DO IT AGAIN 


IF EVERYBODY BUYS A BOND 


IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN CANVASSED, DON’T WAIT FOR THE SALES.- 
MAN TO CALL—GO TO YOUR NEAREST BANK, OR LOAN 
QUARTERS, AND MAKE YOUR APPLICATION FOR AS MUCH AS YOU 
CAN POSSIBLY PUT INTO THIS FOURTH VICTORY LOAN.
